Grace Baptist Church was started in the providence of God in 1973 on the northern end of Smyrna, meeting in a old building that
no longer stands. God allowed us to purchase our current building in 1979, which was built in 1907 and was originally a
Methodist church. What a blessing to have your own building with no mortgage!
Grace Baptist’s heritage is ancient, going all the way back to the Apostolic Age. Baptists and Baptist people are not Reformed, as
we had our beginnings in the Book of Acts. Baptist churches even pre-date the Roman Catholic church. We claim, as part of our
spiritual heritage, the grand old groups such as the Donatists, the Albigensians, the Waldensians, the old Swiss and German
Anabaptists, the Mennonites and Brethren, and similar groups.
Grace Baptist Church once identified with Biblical Fundamentalism, but we are very uncertain of that identification today. Baptist
Fundamentalism has largely apostatized from its grand heritage and is largely unrecognizable from what it was even 20 years
ago. Many modern Fundamentalists have abandoned the King James Bible and the traditional Biblical manuscripts, separation,
and godly music and have taken up with Contemporary Christianity. Grace Baptist is a part of a “post-Fundamentalist” movement
which Dr. Cereghin refers to as “Remnant Christianity”, signifying the numerical smallness and spiritual humbleness of such
churches and Christians. We make no great claims for ourselves and we have no aspirations for worldly greatness. Our only
desire is to preach Christ and Him Crucified and to remain faithful to the Word of God in this corrupt generation. We identify
ourselves as a Bible Believing, Remnant Baptist Church, standing on the King James Bible as the preserved word of God in
English.
You will find at Grace Baptist a small but precious congregation of believers. We sing the old hymns of the faith and the psalms.
We preach and teach from the King James Bible. We practice ecclesiastical and personal separation from sin and error. We are
Independent, meaning we have no ties to any fellowship, denomination or association. We support missions both here in the
United States and worldwide. And we emphasize the preaching of the Word of God and prayer above all. We invite you to visit us
if you are in Central Delaware.
